摘要
Antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities of protein hydrolysates from Argentine croaker (Umbrina canosai) protein isolate (CPI) or Argentine croaker myofibrillar protein with different degrees of hydrolysis (DH: 10-20%) prepared using Alcalase or Protamex were determined. Results showed that an increase in the DH resulted in higher content of hydrophobic and aromatic amino acids (AAAs) and in a decrease in molecular weight (MW) distribution for all hydrolysates obtained. Furthermore, the enzyme and raw material used influenced the amino acid content and MW determined. Hydrolysates from CPI with a 20% DH by Alcalase had higher 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical scavenging activity, metal chelation, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (p<0.05). All hydrolysate samples decreased the pro-inflammatory capacity. In all the evaluated microorganisms, only seven were inhibited, most being Gram-positive. Alcalase was found to exert a considerable influence on antibacterial activity. These hydrolysates are an alternative as natural antimicrobials, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant compounds.
